Before using the cooktop
Cleaning the cooktop
Before using for the first time clean the
appliance as follows:
^ Wash the gas burner assembly with a
mild solution of warm water and
liquid dish soap.
^ Wipe dry and reassemble the parts in
the proper order (see “Cleaning and
care”).
^ Wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth
and dry thoroughly.
12
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight odor
the first time your new appliance is
heated.
The harmless odor will dissipate after a
short time and does not indicate a
faulty connection or appliance defect.
Using the cooktop
Fast-Ignition-System
Normal / Fast burner
The gas cooktops are equipped with a
Fast-Ignition-System which
incorporates the following features:
– The control knob can be released
once it is turned to the largest flame
symbol.
– If the flame goes out during use,
e.g. from a draft, the burner will automatically reignite.
If reignition is unsuccessful, the gas
supply will automatically be shut-off
(see “Safety feature”).
ß Cooktop is turned off
& Highest flame
/ Lowest flame
Wok burner
As a result of the Fast-IgnitionSystem, the ignitor stays activated
for a few seconds, even when the
flame is already lit.
– To prevent a gas leak, the FastIgnition-System will click until the
safety thermostat is activated.
Turning on and off / Regulating
The control knob is used to light the
burner and to regulate the strength of
the flame.
ß Cooktop is turned off
* Highest flame:
inner and outer burner
are both at their highest setting.
& High flame:
outer burner is at the lowest setting,
inner burner is at the highest setting.
+ Low flame:
outer burner is turned off,
inner burner is at the highest setting.
/ Lowest flame:
outer burner is turned off,
inner burner is at the lowest setting.
13
Using the cooktop
Turning on
^ To light a burner press down and turn
the corresponding control knob
counterclockwise to the largest flame
symbol. Release the knob. The ignitor
will click and ignite the gas.
The ignition process lasts about 8 - 10
seconds. The flame should light within
4 seconds. Even once the flame is lit,
the ignition will continue to click for a
few seconds for safety. If the burner
does not light, repeat the process.
If the burner does not light on the
second attempt, turn the control knob
to “ß” and see “Frequently asked
questions”.
^ To increase the flames from a low to
high setting, turn the control knob
clockwise until you reach the stop.
Press the knob down to pass the
stop, then release the pressure and
set the cooktop to the desired
setting.
Since the outer portion of the flame is
much hotter than the center, the flame
should be set so that it does not spread
beyond the sides of the pan. Flame tips
which extend beyond the sides of the
pan are hazardous.
^ Adjust the knob to the desired
setting.
Turning off
Regulating the wok burner
This stops the flow of gas and turns off
the cooktop.
The inner and outer burners are both
controlled by one control knob. There is
a stop at the 6 o’clock position that
requires you to press the knob down
while turning it in order to get from the
high flame to the low flame zone.
^ To reduce the flames from a high to
low setting, turn the control knob
counterclockwise until you feel
resistance. Press the knob down to
pass the stop, then release the
pressure and set the cooktop to the
desired setting.
14
^ Turn the control knob clockwise to
“ß”.
The knob must only be turned left to
turn the appliance on and right to
turn it off.
If the knob is turned,
- on without pressing it down first,
- clockwise past the 12 o’clock
position, or
- counterclockwise past the smallest
flame symbol,
parts of the cooktop could be
damaged.
Using the cooktop
Pan size
Suitable pans
– Set the cooktop to a high flame when
using a large diameter pan and low
flame when using small diameter
pans.
Unlike pans used on an electric
cooktop, the bases do not need to be
even for good results.
Thick pan bases will give more even
results, as hot spots are reduced due to
better heat distribution.
Thin pan bases will conduct the heat
faster but not as evenly as thick pan
bases. Stir the food frequently to
prevent burning.
– Generally, wide / shallow pans will
heat quicker and cook more evenly
than narrow / tall ones.
Wok burners
You can use a wok on these burners
without any additional rings, trivets, etc.
– Using oversized pans may cause the
flames to spread out and damage
the surrounding countertop or other
countertop appliances. The proper
pan size will also improve efficiency.
– Do not use small pans with high
flame settings, the flames may climb
the sides of the pan.
– Pots with a smaller diameter than the
pan support and pots that do not sit
securely (without wobbling) are
hazardous and should not be used.
If you wish to use the wok ring, for extra
stability, attach it as shown (depending
on your grates).
15
Using the cooktop
Safety feature
This appliance is equipped with an
Ignition Safety Control. This control cuts
the gas supply if the flame goes out
and reignition is unsuccessful.
^ To reignite the burner, turn the
control knob to “ß”, then follow the
procedure outlined in “Turning on
and off / Regulating”.
This safety feature is not operated by
electricity, it will be active even if the
appliance is in use during a power
failure.
16
Using the cooktop during a
power failure
If there is an interruption to the
electrical supply the gas can be ignited
using a match.
^ Press down and turn the desired
control knob counterclockwise to the
largest flame symbol.
^ While holding down the knob, light
the gas at the burner with a match.
^ When the flame appears, keep the
control knob pressed in for 8 - 10
seconds to allow for the Ignition
Safety Control to reach operating
temperature.
Cleaning and care
Cooktop
Never use a steam cleaner to clean
this cooktop. Pressurized steam
could cause permanent damage to
the surface and to components.
Do not use any sharp or pointed
objects which could damage the
seal between the frame and the
countertop.
Never use scouring agents, pads,
abrasive cleaning agents, or strong
cleaners, e.g. oven sprays, stain or
rust removers, these could damage
the surface of the appliance.
Keep the ignitor in the burner dry. If
it gets wet it will not spark.
Let the appliance cool to a safe
temperature before removing the
grates.
^ Clean the grates, cooktop and knobs
with a sponge and a mild solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap.
^ Soak baked or hardened spills.
Dry the cooktop and grates
thoroughly after cleaning.
The stainless steel surfaces can be
cleaned using a non-abrasive stainless
steel cleaner.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can also be used.
Apply sparingly with even pressure.
Printed surfaces
Dry your cooktop thoroughly after
cleaning it to prevent lime deposits.
Spills containing salt or sugar should
be cleaned immediately.
Remove any soiling which comes
into contact with the printed flame
symbols and the Miele logo right
away. Soiling, particularly salty food
or liquid and olive oil, can cause
damage if left on the printed
surfaces for too long. Do not use
stainless steel cleaning agents on
the printed surfaces. This can rub
off the print.
Stainless steel colored knobs
These controls may become
discolored or damaged if not
cleaned regularly.
Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on the knobs.

Installation
^ Prepare the work top cut-out as
shown in the diagram.
Rember to maintain the minimum
safety distances to combustible
surfaces:
- 2 3/4" (70 mm) between the cut-out
and the back wall and
- 12" (305 mm) between the cut-out
and a side wall or tall unit to the right
or left of the cut-out.
(See "Important Safety instructions").
^ Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable
heat-resistant sealant to avoid
swelling caused by moisture.
If during installation, the corners of
the frame are not flush with the work
top surface, the corner radius (max.
3
/16" [4 mm]) can be carefully filed to
fit.

Installation
The sealing strip under the edge of the
top part of the cooktop provides a
sufficient seal for the worktop.
Do not let sealant get in between the
cooktop frame and the worktop.
This could cause difficulties if the
cooktop ever needs to be taken out
for servicing and possibly result in
damage to the cooktop frame or the
worktop.

three-prong grounding plug to
prevent shock hazards. It should be
plugged directly into a properly
grounded outlet. Do not cut or
remove the grounding prong from
the plug. If the plug does not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a licensed electrician.
To guarantee the electrical safety of
this appliance, continuity must exist
between the appliance and an
effective grounding system. It is
imperative that this basic safety
requirement be met. If there is any
doubt, have the electrical system of
the house checked by a qualified
electrician.
